By Breaking Belize News Staff: American investor Christopher Day is pressing ahead with his US$295,000 lawsuit against Belize Strategic Fund Limited and businessman Glen Brayshaw, with his attorneys making a renewed request to the High Court to schedule a hearing that would move the disputed villa investment case closer to trial.
In correspondence dated October 28, 2026, attorney Immanuel Williams of Glenn D. Godfrey & Company LLP wrote to the Registrar of the High Court, requesting that the matter be brought to the attention of Justice Nadine Nabie.
The letter, concerning High Court Claim No. 244 of 2026, follows an earlier request submitted on August 31, when Day’s attorneys first sought a date for a Case Management Conference (CMC).
Despite the passage of nearly two months, the latest correspondence indicates that a date has still not been scheduled.
The attorneys informed the court that the defendants filed their defence on July 28, while the claimants subsequently filed a formal Request for Information seeking further particulars concerning several assertions made in that defence.
With the pleadings substantially complete, the attorneys are now requesting that the court move the proceedings forward.
“Accordingly, we request that a CMC be fixed with a view to prepare the matter for trial,” the October 28 letter states.
In voice messages shared with Breaking Belize News, Day confirmed that a response had been received in the matter and that they were now awaiting a court date. However, he did not provide details of the response.
Breaking Belize News understands that Day remains determined to pursue the litigation and is prepared to utilize every possible resource at his disposal in his effort to secure justice.
The lawsuit stems from a disputed US$295,000 investment in the proposed 52/13 Villas development at Naia Resort and Spa in Placencia.
As previously reported by Breaking Belize News in August, Day and his company, CDAY Properties LLC, allege that the investment was made after representations that the development would provide an income-generating rental opportunity and would be completed by March 2024.
However, Day alleges that when he visited the property in August 2024, construction remained substantially incomplete. He subsequently sought to withdraw from the investment and recover his money.
The claimants have raised allegations including fraudulent misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, failure of consideration and conspiracy.
Belize Strategic Fund and Brayshaw have denied the allegations of fraud, maintaining that the development experienced delays rather than being abandoned and that Day acquired a legitimate participation interest in the project.
A central issue in the dispute concerns the legal status of a property identified as Lot 113, against which Day’s investment was purportedly secured.
Day’s attorneys allege that the property does not exist under that designation as a formally registered parcel, while the defendants maintain that Lot 113 is a development designation associated with property owned by Belize Strategic Fund.
In August, the claimants requested documentation supporting the defendants’ assertions, including land ownership records, development maps and correspondence concerning the property’s transfer.
The defendants were requested to provide the information by August 25. While Day has indicated that a response was received, the contents and adequacy of that response have not been independently established.
The next anticipated stage is a Case Management Conference, during which the court would establish a timetable for the exchange of documents, filing of witness statements and other procedural requirements necessary to prepare the matter for trial.
No date has yet been confirmed for that conference, and no trial date has been fixed.
The allegations remain before the High Court and have not been judicially determined.
